Calling Shad Experts: Beginner question.
Beginner question: I've been shad fishing a lot, but loosing a most of them (LDR). I understand fish fight all the way in and can/will come off, especialy since I de-barb my flies. But, I see fly guys who land fish one after another, no problem. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm taking too much time to reel them in? Maybe not enough time. They're one the hook, I can feel the weight of the fish. This has happened with bead chain flies and scuds. 1 to hand 10 pop off. Any insight or thoughts, or is that just shad fishing?
Many Thanks!
